Most of these tax increases won't affect met. It's above my pay grade. LOL

Also you should snopes yourself if you're talking about the "1%" like that. For f**k's sake, that's 3 million people. For perspective, that's approximately the total number of native americans living in the US as of the 2010 census (just googled that, weird coincidence, right?). That 1% is not all Trumps, clearly, and that's a heck of a lot of people to hate and be so angry at.

I wouldn't call $250,000 and up rich. Yeah, it's a lot. But depending on where you live... paying over half in income taxes blows. Heck, paying a third blows. I'm sure there are many who are relatively close to the cutoff that can't swing big time tax deductions like the super rich, but are caught in the same ridiculous bracket. Not to mention dividends and cap gains tax on stuck like retirement funds, although I suppose many of those are deferred taxes or have other tax-related subsidies.

Not to come in and play Devil's Advocate but why does it HAVE to be just one way or the other. Why does it HAVE TO be raising taxes stifles economy and tax breaks stimulate it. What is being discussed is any incredibly complex and very very layered and complicated system involving rg billions of people, thousands of roles and billions of dollars. Maybe I'm just being naive but I don't think something that complicated can be summed up in such a neat and clean way as; if this happens this is the result. The more complicated the system the more difficult it is to truly discern the effects of making a change in a single area of it. The only part that bugs me is the pounding your fist on the desk stating with conviction that "it MUST be this way or the other"..... To me that seems far too limiting for such a complex and multivariabled system. But hey what do I know, this is the first time I've ever posted in a political thread
